There are 26 letters, so, with repetitions,
There can be
different arrangements of the 1st 3 letters
Digits 0 through 9 are allowed, so, with repetitions,
There are
arrangements of 4 digits.
EACH of these ways can be attached
to EACH of the arrangements of letters, so
is
the total number of possible plates

3 letters=26^3=17576
4 digits=0000-9999=10000
3 letters by 4 digits=17576x10000=175,760,000
--------------------
no repetitions allowed in digits=10C4=10x9x8x7x6!/4x3x2x6!=10x3x7=210
210 x 17576=3690960..
